Artist Statement

Conceptualization- I’m back in the studio, digitally processing all those ghost town interiors. I shot a lot of pictures and they’re all good. I feel like the best real estate photographer ever! Mentally “stepping away” from my images I come to a horrible realization: my pictures are good, but they-re just old empty rooms, we’ve all seen this before, there’s nothing new here. What can I do? I resign from my position as the World’s Greatest Unseen Real Estate Photographer and channel the spirit of Salvador Dali. What would Dali put in those empty rooms? I make lists and then I cross out all the logical things I wrote and make more lists. I compile a list of illogical things to populate those rooms. Then I go prop shopping. As I shop the antique stores I visualize which thing will go in which room. Before I can complete each image in the real-world, I must first complete each image in my head. Only then can I proceed to the studio…
